Sam Brownback, Standup Comic

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback (R) had a theory for why a chunk of voters were backing Jennifer Winn, his challenger, in the Republican gubernatorial primary: blame President Barack Obama.

"I think a big part of it is Barack Obama," Brownback told Kansas's 41 Action News. "That a lot of people are so irritated at what the president is doing, they just, they want somebody to throw a brick."

Isn't that terrific?

It wouldn't be because he's virtually emptied the states' coffers or because another financial services company has downgraded Kansas' credit rating, no. Or that the schools are now short on money, etc., etc.
